Hi all! I was banded on 12/13/07, had some pain after surgery, but I am 8 days out and returned to work this week. Day one back at work and extreme nausea kicked in and pain.:cry Found out that my blood pressure was way down. I fixed that. Now I am hungry but when I try to eat even yogart I get pain at the topof my stomache kind of like real bad heartburn? :sick Any suggestions or comments???? Also I make a killer homemade chicken Soup, when I am sick, I usually take out or puree the chicken when I am sick, and add a few fine egg noodles. Would that be okay to eat right now. Are the noodles okay?? Also I see many of you pureeing meatloaf, my doctor told me to stay away from beef for 2 months. Apparently that is his standing order for all his new patients. Because I make a fabulous beef sandwich spead. like a ham salad, but put in the food processor. It's great on crakers. Please anyone with an answer for the heartburn pain (but lower right at the opening of the stomache) would be appreciated. Also any comments on diet would be appreciated.

Hi. I just registered too. I had my surgery 12/13 (8 days out and 15lbs gone) I had pain up for about 5 days it was mainly gas, but I did have a lot of belly pain, especially when trying to sleep. I could not sleep on my right side for several days. Strange but they said the port side would be more sensative. Last night I had severe pain like heartburn, everytime I tried to drink anything colder then room temp. I fninally had to take the strong pain medicine I hadn't taken in days. It will get better. My daughter had this done in April and has had a few ups and downs but more ups then downs. She assured me that the pain will go away. Good luck!
